It has been my
personal opinion that the Guardian was genetically engineered by
bacteriologists by growing membrane in a Petri dish. Certainly the membrane can
withstand both the heat and fiery blast of flames from the twin exhaust of a
rocket. And yet there is this image that plays in the mind. It doesn’t look
like the cavern floor, and yet it gives me the feeling of heat, and possibly
the environment of an alien planet! An alien life form in a mist, hot crater on
a planet alien to us, it is strangely compelling. This alien life form could
have originally arrived on Earth in a meteorite. And somehow it ended up in The
Village, as much a prisoner as any other creature. And forced to work as
nothing more than a guard dog, to be released and set upon any unsuspecting escapee!
And do we, do we see the Guardian in this picture in its natural environment?
I’m not sure, I’ve never been sure not in all the past 50 years of ‘the
Prisoner.’ Unless of course it is the burnt out cavern caused by the flames and
immense heat from the rocket’s three exhausts!
Be seeing you
